Re: Reveal 20 - Live!
PM2 LW out the gate with the options, thank you!
Chaparral G10, how did it take this long lol? That price though... Hopefully we see a LW FRN REX121 to match like the Sage?

Re: Reveal 20 - Live!
Sage 6 in Rex 121 looks good.

Oh snap! (Hopefully, not the blade)

Re: Reveal 20 - Live!
I am tempted by both Chaparrals, but will get the Rex for sure.
Also that Lil Native and Chief.. .hmm. Overall a potentially significant atrocity against my wallet. Well done Spyderco. :-)

Re: Reveal 20 - Live!
Yeah the MSRP is scary on 121 ! I have to get either the REX or Damasteel Chaparral but man that'll be a tough one.
MSRP on the PM2 LW is pretty nice though IMO. Nice to see 9CR on the Retract too

Re: Reveal 20 - Live!
Just an all around winner. Seeing a handful of models from the case at BLADE show is a fun surprise.
The PM2 LW is going to be a massive hit. It is already seeing a sprint run!
We finally got the Charisma and in four colors to boot.
Love seeing more Ed Schempp designs coming out! The Retract was in the case at BLADE show too. Super comfortable in hand, definitely a must have.
THREE new Lil Natives!!!
The coated Meerkat looks really cool. Kind of surprised to see that one.
That Damasteel Chaparral is a beautiful piece.
And lastly the new merch looks great! I'll be buying at least two of each hat... One for the whole thing and one just for the patch.

I noticed the blade shape on the Chaparral Rex121 is different. It has the same blade profile as the Slip-it Chaparral. The Damasteel Chaparral still has the traditional Chaparral blade shape though. I haven't used the new blade shape in the slip-it yet but based on aesthetics alone, I prefer the original blade shape.
Edit - Thought I just had an epiphany moment...
but I immediately proved myself wrong.
I thought maybe they're using a different blade profile on the Chaparral variants that have taken a step beyond the original intention of the Chaparral series, showcasing handle materials. For example the Slip-it uses a different lock and Rex 121 is a different steel, so they get the subtly differentiating blade shape. But then right next to it is the Damasteel Chaparral with the traditional blade shape, so I don't know if I was on to anything or not.

Re: Reveal 20 - Live!
I'm in on a lefty Millie 2. Nice to see some more 15V. The PM2 Lightweight will be interesting to see, though I'm personally not all that interested. And it's always fun to see a new Ed Schempp design.
Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.

Re: Reveal 20 - Live!
1.) Absolutely great that the unique (and uniquely amazing) Chaparral platform gets opened up for various steel AND handle material combinations!!!
I thought "only" the FRN model would become the platform for more steels - now it seems we may see all kinds of handle material and steel "mixes"!
2.) I personally like that for the Lil Native it is the lightweight version that obviously gets variants: To me rather intriguing with thinner blade stock and light weight, while the heavy, thick bladed G10 Lil Native is not for me
3.) PM2 LW: Very cool. And actually really pretty light. FRN in my use anyway superior to G10, especially due to its usually better contouring and texture. Great! And I am sure it will sell really well

This is like a dream Reveal for me!
-Lefty Military 2
-Charisma
-UKPK Blackout G-10 Salt
-Chap Rex 121
-Lil Native Lightweight 15v
And to think that I thought I was running out of things to buy due to the increasing popularity of the Compression Lock...
